- Questions around diagnosis, including the process of getting a diagnosis, grief and identity issues around late diagnosis, when to tell kids about their diagnosis, and the pros and cons of diagnosis
- Why is it that some neurodivergent people seem to ‘thrive in chaos’ and others need clear structure, routine, and processes?
- Imposter Syndrome
- Strategies for removing sensory and practical barriers to self care.
- Can medication help executive functioning issues in autistic adults?
- Nuances in sensory processing – sensitivity to multisensory environments versus specific triggers and tactile defensiveness.
- Social anxiety disorder versus autistic social anxiety.
- Different aspects of interoceptive awareness.
- Strategies to make your work life less draining for you and a better fit.
